93 octane with aluminum heads and the right cam can probably do 11.5:1 - 12:1. 11:1 will be safe.

Ok. Well, it figured my compression will actually be 10.69:1 with 58cc heads. I've decided on the canfield 195's for my head choice. I think they will work nicely.

If I go with the 54cc heads, this will bump the compression to around 11.2:1. This should be ok on 93 octance with a Jay allen camshaft?
